Raise the roof

Well, alright. Just under two weeks later, we have a roof over our heads again. Big thanks to Matt at First General and to Jay and Red (and crew) from Premier Construction.

Last night we almost got hit by another thunderstorm — hail and 60 mph winds were reported in the county. But it never rained at the house, which is good, since the roof wasn’t fully shingled yet.

The construction started before 6:00 each of the last three days. Until today. the high in Augusta was over 102°, so they wanted to get working before it became too hot.

Storm Video

News12 in Augusta has some storm damage video now. Most of the cleanup footage was shot at our house, and the first video includes shots from the inside before we did any cleanup.

Try: this first night footage and the cleanup video

These links may change as the video is archived.

News12, by the way, was very respectful and we especially thank Melissa Tune and her cameraman (whose name I did not get) for their sensitivity on Thursday night.

Offline

I will be offline for quite a bit over the next few weeks. We suffered some severe storm damage yesterday. Everyone is ok, but we have lots of work to do to get our house back in shape.

A big thanks, by the way, to all the guys from Stallion and First General for their work last night.

After the cleanup, we have this:
